What geographic feature do you believe has the greatest
impact on the shaping of
one's culture? Why

Waterways likely have the most impact on civilizations. This is due to all that rivers, lakes, and oceans can provide. Civilizations have more common along water sources throughout history. Lakes and rivers can provide water, food, minerals, transportation and more. If one is further away from water, the culture will adapt. Less fish will be consumed, less water travel will be utilized, and water in general will be used more carefully. This is a great contract to fisherman and sailors of coastal areas
